Abstract:
... The side-wall pressure distribution in static silos is an important and open problem related to storage safety of granular materials. Referring to Lvin's theory [Powder Technology 4, 280 (1971)] and Rodolfo's 2D numerical result [Phys. Rev. E 97.1(2018)], a new theoretical model of side-wall pressure is established by assuming the friction coefficient as well as the ratio of horizontal to vertical ...

The effect of container size of food and drinks as well as the effect of the variety of drinks on the selecting behaviors of male and female undergraduates were investigated in this research by manipulating the sizes of plates and glasses. The findings suggest that male students tended to choose smaller plates and preferred tall slender glasses that appeared to contain a greater volume of beverage ...

Abstract:
... The behaviors of coupled cylinders loaded with identical granules rolling down an inclined plane were explored. The critical rolling angle depends on the granular loading fraction in both cylinders, the maximum of which is achieved when both cylinders contain equal volumes of granules. Both mathematical and experimental studies for three types of granules have been conducted, demonstrating that th ...

In Experiment 1, cats were led to four open, baited containers and allowed to eat from two of them (Exposure phase). After a 15-min delay during which the cats were absent and all containers were replaced wit ...

Abstract:
... Nursery production of birch (Betula nigra L.) trees commonly occurs in containers using a soilless substrate such as pine bark or peat moss. Birch trees have been reported to suffer from pH-induced micronutrient deficiencies in landscapes; thus, they are recommended to be planted in low-pH soils (<6.5). Little research has addressed the influence of substrate pH on birch trees during container pro ...

Physical space, defined by its volume and shape, is considered a resource for plant growth, as a plant can be limited by physical space even when other resources (e.g., light, water and nutrients) are unlimited. However, the effect of physical space limitation on intraspecific competition of plants, especially floating plants, is not well understood. Here we tested the hypothesis that physical spa ...

Concentrations of oil in test solutions are dynamic because hydrocarbons evaporate, partition to test containers, bioaccumulate, biodegrade, and photo‐oxidize. As a result, the composition and toxicity of test solutions may var ...
